Commerce bill pass. 1t has gone through
tbs Senate by the surprising majority Of
iorty..hree to fifteen. Tho Senate had
heard from tho people. There is no ques'

The measure is not thought to be perfect,

beginning. II it work injustice to the

There arc features which may give
trouble, but the bill as It stands is the
best that could be got through the Senate,

tor Sweeney were offered, raised the point
Of order that they could not be referred,
nor any action taken, inasmuch as tho
Senate wis not yet organized. This was
sustained by the Senate. III making the
entry on the journal the reason given by
MIR. Flournoy for raising the point was
not recited. Mr.. Dawson noticed this and
inserted 1t in the manuscript, but later It
was by come person stricken out, and tho
next day the Democratic majority refused
to allow the journal to be corrected 80 as
to show the nature Of the point Of order.
The Accommodations for the press in the
Senate are go far conspicuous by their ab.
sence. Those In the House are better,
but not good. However, both houses
have taken the necessary steps to remedy
this.
The muddy streets continue to be the
subjsct OF much sarcastic comment in and
out OF the sessions. To Wheeling people
the condition OF the streets is incoEcoiva.
